Stats match score in ugly loss to 49ers

San Francisco gained 21 first downs to the Texans’ 10, held the ball for 36:17 and outgained the Texans 377-155 in net yards.

The Texans didn’t enter the red zone the entire game, while backup quarterbacks Case Keenum and Tom Savage combined for just 16-of-29 passing for 113 yards, two interceptions and a 35.6 rating.

“It’s going to be a good adventure for me, I think,” said Savage, a fourth-round pick who’s competing with Keenum to back up starter Ryan Fitzpatrick. “I think as a young player you’ve got to be able to handle these situations and, trust me, it sucks to lose. It’s just a tough feeling.

“As a competitor, you want to go out and win. It doesn’t matter if you’re playing checkers or football. So it stings. But you’ve just got to keep improving.”
